0.Loading Paper on the Bypass Tray

When you make copies on OHP film, sticker labels, envelopes, Thick 4 paper, or non-standard size paper, load the

copy paper on the bypass tray. Using the bypass tray is also recommended for copying or printing on standard size

paper which is not set in any of the drawers.

Be careful not to cut your fingers when fanning.

This could injure you.

 The height of the paper must not exceed the indicator on the side guides. The maximum number of sheets varies

depending on the paper type. For details, see the reference below:

Specifications - SPECIFICATIONS OF PAPER - Acceptable paper

 When you use more than one sheet of paper, fan the sheets well before placing them on the bypass tray. Otherwise,

the sheets may not be separated before being fed.

 Do not push paper into the entrance of the bypass feeder. This could cause a paper misfeed.

 When you print on sheets of OHP film, remove the copied OHP film one sheet at a time as they exit onto the

receiving tray. If the sheets of OHP film pile up, they may get curled and may not be projected properly.

 When you load paper on the bypass tray, remove any paper remaining on it and combine it with the new paper and

loosen it well. This could cause a paper misfeed.

If you place the originals on the ADF for bypass copying and do not set the paper size, the originals will be copied

upside down. Be sure to set the paper size when you wish to do bypass copying.

Open the bypass tray.

If the paper is large, pull out the paper holder.

The original stopper prevents the scanned originals from falling off. Pull it out from the ADF and raise the sub-stopper.

For using the RADF, raise the original feeder tray and open the sub-stopper. If you do not open the sub-stopper with

laterally-long or large originals, paper misfeeding may occur.

For using the DSDF, pull it out from the DSDF and raise the sub-stopper. If you do not raise the sub-stopper, paper

misfeeding may occur depending on your paper or the exited originals may fall off the exit tray.

Lower the sub-stopper and slightly lift the original stopper of the DSDF to push it back in after you have finished using

it.

2.PLACING ORIGINALS

52 Placing Originals

 Scanning originals with the ADF

Place originals on the ADF.

Align all the originals.

Collate the originals in the order that you want them to be copied. The top sheet of the originals will be copied

first.

Place the originals with their face up and align the side guides to the original length.

 When using the DSDF, originals are acceptable up to 300 sheets (35 to 80 g/m

(9.3 to 20 lb.)) or 38 mm (1.50")

in height, regardless of their sizes.

 When using the RADF, originals are acceptable up to 100 sheets (35 to 80 g/m

(9.3 to 20 lb.)) or 16 mm (0.62")

in height, regardless of their sizes.

 When using the DSDF, passages of a large number of originals with curled wavily may cause paper misfeeding.

In that case, reduce the number of the originals.

 If small-size paper such as A5-R is used as originals, they are sometimes not detected by the ADF. In that case,

align the side guides to the original length. Then place the originals gently by sliding them from the position of

the side guides. If originals have curled, make them flat before placing on the ADF.

 For mixed-size originals, see the reference below:

 P.55 “Scanning mixed-size originals in one operation”

 Do not use force to push the original into it. This may cause original misfeeding or damage it. When the blue

lamp lights, scanning becomes possible.

When using the DSDF, the paper feeding tray will automatically move upwards in ten seconds after placing

originals. The timing for moving the paper feeding tray upwards can be changed to the one when the [START]

button is pressed. For details, contact your service representative.

Set each mode in Copy/Scan/Fax and press the [START] button. The originals are scanned.
